I have finally planned a trip to the Philly, New Jersey area in September. Can't wait to visit the famous Aberdeen proving ground, hopefully I can catch a glimpse of theosefamous WWII tanks, tank destroyers, and even the Anzio railroad gun there. From what I heard, the USS New Jersy battleship also moared not too far away. I am dieing to check out those mammoth 16-inch guns up close and personal.
They are. I have visited USS NORTH CAROLINA, moored in Wilmington, and her guns, which are also 16 inchers, are most impressive.
I'll be heading to Aberdeen this Saturday.I've been hoping to get there since I was a kid.Can't wait.How far is the New Jersey from Aberdeen?
My first destination is actually Philadelphia, I was told that the USS New Jersey is very close by, and that Aberdeen is only about 1 and 1/2 hour away. I hope you take lots of pictures, especially the Anzio annie, the Tigers, the Wasp, the Cricket, the Nashorns, the Hummels...etc.
